Things Dems Shouldn't Attack On

Plenty of people take six years and five institutions in three states to finish their bachelor's degree. Lifetime and nontraditional learning is an excellent alternative to the traditional four-years-and-out system.
Plenty of people worry about what their kids read and try to censor any libraries they control, And of course, wouldn't YOU fire anyone who didn't support you "in their heart" from a government job if YOU were elected?
Plenty of people view working with churches to help recently laid-off workers rebuild their lives with venomous disdain.
Plenty of people have helped run 527's for Ted Stevens.
Plenty of people had their first political experiences supporting apologists for the Nazis.
Plenty of people believe that they are given missions from God to build massive corporate giveaways.
Plenty of people believe their state should secede from the Union.

Date: 2008-09-05 05:49 am (UTC)Please, please attack Palin for the so-called "Troopergate" scandal. I love it when Dems defend a police officer who tasered an 11 year old boy, and try to create a scandal when the firee himself said it was unrelated to the personal incident in question.
Please try to make a big deal out of the sniping at community organizers. Whining works so well for Dems, and everyone knows what "community organizers" do.
Please attack her for running a 527 for Ted Stevens. It'll be funny when it doesn't stick.
Please attack her for having a small amount of contact with Buchanan. It just gives us more of an excuse to point to Ayers and Wright, who are far closer to Obama than Buchanan ever was to Palin.
Please attack her for using the language about "a task from God". Everyone knows that a majority of voters in swing states are atheists and agnostics.
And finally, please attack her for the so-called AIP connection. Who cares what the voting records showing her to be a lifetime Republican say?

Let's not whine. Let's attack the Republican disdain for any public service not in the military or salaried by the government.
Why on earth wouldn't it stick? Would the Republicans just lie about it?
Wright we can talk about. Ayers, he had really minimal contact with. And I'm not saying we should talk about Buchanan to people in general, I'm talking about how we should bring up Buchanan in, say, South Florida, where the smear tactics have been hurting Obama, and he needs some help.
Sure, fighting poverty is a task from God (Obama fought poverty with churches). The Iraq War dead-enders, many of them believe the Iraq War is a mission from God. But a NATURAL GAS PIPELINE?
So-called? You know, if Obama had attended Black Panther conventions, and spoken approvingly, while a senator, at a Nation of Islam rally, we'd never hear the end of it.
